- AJC Top 100: Staff Retreat
- At the conclusion of the busy summer tournament season, AJGA headquarters closes for three days in October. During these three days, all staff members, from the newest of new to the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer travel to the Georgia mountains for a staff retreat. Staff retreat is a time to get away from the office, to talk about the year behind and plan for the year ahead. While there is a lot of work that gets done, the retreat is also a time for AJGA staff to have fun together and enjoy each other’s company. Whether it’s a...

- Todd Corum Tour Representative Bridgestone Golf Q: What was your time at the AJGA like? My time at the AJGA was unbelievable. I interned in 1999 and was a Tournament Director from 2000 – 2004. My last two years with the AJGA, I ran all of the Association’s major championships. The players that were playing and winning those events are now winning events on the PGA and LPGA Tours. [It’s] very cool to see these players continue to have success as they move through each level of golf. Q: What was your favorite memory from your time at the AJGA?...

- In 2010, Sara Wagoner made the transition from Braselton to Atlanta, golf slacks to scrubs, 56 co-workers to 6,830.

- “It means a lot to me to work for an organization that not only allows, but encourages, this type of personal and professional development. I truly believe that if you’re not getting better and continuing to learn, you’re getting worse.” -Stephanie Dittmer, AJGA Communications Coordinator One of benefits of working for the AJGA is the opportunity the organization gives employees to go beyond 1980 Sports Club Drive and work and learn with other people.

- Kevin Floyd: Prestige Staffing Tell me about your time with the AJGA: I graduated college in May of 1998 and did the communications internship on the East Coast. I think I literally came to training the day or two after graduation. I was a communications intern, one of two, and Tonya Oskarson was my partner. We traveled through the summer with four operations interns and ran events. At the end, I felt like there could be a full time opportunity for me, but I wasn’t sure when I left. A while later I got a call from Joel Schuchman (currently...
